Question

function foo(arg, ajaxcomplete) {
    $.ajax({
    //ajaxcall...
    success: function() {
        //set ajaxcomplete to true
    }
}

Is there any way to do something similar to know when an ajaxcall has completed in a function? Thanks

Yes complete. it’s fired after the error or success callbacks.

    function foo(arg, ajaxcomplete) {
        $.ajax({
            success: function() {
                alert('O.K.');
            },
            complete: function(){
                alert('We are done');
            }
        });
    }

Description from the docs:

complete(jqXHR, textStatus)Function, Array
A function to be called when the request finishes (after success and error callbacks are executed). The function gets passed two arguments: The jqXHR (in jQuery 1.4.x, XMLHTTPRequest) object and a string categorizing the status of the request (“success”, “notmodified”, “error”, “timeout”, “abort”, or “parsererror”). As of jQuery 1.5, the complete setting can accept an array of functions. Each function will be called in turn. This is an Ajax Event.
